Well of course it's easy to metagame that decision. Bioware handfeed the best outcomes to paragons, especially the Council decision from ME1. If you're only going for "best" result not caring about metagaming the system, you should take paragon choices always.TobyHasEyes wrote...

Produce more dreadnaughts.. to make up for the ones the Asari are no longer commiting to the Council. If they are completed in time, that means that they are merely making up the numbers. Obviously we would assume the Asari ones still exist, but that is why the point I was making was that this is indicative of how a 'human-dominated' Council has less authority and loses support as an institution
As long as the dreadnoughts exist, who cares where they're committed at the start of ME? With their homeworlds under attack most races would likely recall their ships anyway. In any case, after a few backroom deals on Thessia I'm sure Shepard could still get those ships.
To address you key point: obviously a coup de'tat government will have less legitimacy than what came before. But does that outweigh the gains humanity has made? Does it make fighting the reapers appreciably harder? Mabye, but I don't think so.
The gains humanity have made are worthless unless the Reapers can be stopped..
I don't see how having a human-dominated Council can aid humanity in the Reaper invasion; when compared to the alternative of the 'Council saved' situation
With all due respect, if you read back a bit into the debate, you would see that I got onto this topic by stating that I didn't think metagaming favoured one set of events over another, as we can be sure that no decision from ME1 or ME2 will make victory against the Reapers impossible in ME3...
And then it was suggested that of the two alternatives in ME3, appreciating them from a meta-gaming standpoint, then the human-dominated Council is the better option to go for. I have been discussing why I don't think that is the case
My own canon Shepard has a Paragon approach, and yet allowed the Council to die as I don't metagame and I felt the Reaper threat outweighed the gains of keeping the Council. But I still view that as sacrifice in the name of necessity, rather than bringing about an advantageous situation
